The Panthers haven&#39;t made the playoffs in 8 years and center ice, lower bowl tickets are anywhere from 75-100 bucks. No one goes to those games except opponents&#39; fans either!</p>shoeski commented on 'Yep, We're the Worst'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e55442807e88332008-08-23T13:16:03Z2008-08-23T13:16:03ZshoeskiDon Shula had the greatest quarterback in the NFL for (13 yrs) and couldn't get him a running back, not...<p>Don Shula had the greatest quarterback in the NFL for (13 yrs) and couldn&#39;t get him a running back, not one! The easiest position in football to fill. Their all over the place coming out of college. Some teams have too many! Ask Denver. But no, Don couldn&#39;t find one to help Marino for 13 yrs. <br />

That&#39;s why we should not waste any of our taxes in a stadium. gas is too expensive, the cost for a game is out of this world, and the weather too hot. I can sit at home with my A/C and watch games with my family.</p>Marlin fan commented on 'Yep, We're the Worst'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e5545e086488342008-08-23T12:06:26Z2008-08-23T12:06:27ZMarlin fanCase in point: When the Marlins were going to play their first Series game in 2003, the first lady in...<p>Case in point: When the Marlins were going to play their first Series game in 2003, the first lady in line to buy tickets was asked how many games it would take for the Fish to win the Series. She first replied &quot;one&quot;. The reporter laughed and said &quot;it will take more than that, I&#39;m afraid&quot;. She then replied &quot;two&quot;, then &quot;three&quot;, then finally &quot;four&quot;. This is PROOF that the fans come out only for the glory.</p>Alonzo Quijana commented on 'Yep, We're the Worst'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e5545d5f0488342008-08-23T10:58:32Z2008-08-23T10:58:32ZAlonzo QuijanaAttending a professional sports event here is a very high cost activity, in a very low income city.

And season tickets are out of reach of 95% of the population, so no way to build real loyalty there. I grew up near Houston and in the 1980s middle class people could actually afford to attend pro games, and did so even when the teams were in the dumps. ANd the domed stadium, first in the nation, didn&#39;t hurt either (like Miami, Houston is hot and humid and rainy much of the year). </p>PortaVoz de la Pequena Habana commented on 'Yep, We're the Worst'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e5545c8a4388342008-08-23T08:58:53Z2008-08-23T08:58:53ZPortaVoz de la Pequena HabanaAnother Good Reason NOT to build a taxpayer Subsidized Stadium for the Marlins!

I&#39;ve lived here for over 20 years and I can&#39;t back any of these teams.<br />
The owners all suck, they don&#39;t spend to improve their teams then they complain about other more expensive teams.<br />
The fans here are among the most ignorant.<br />
During the Marlins world series run all these &quot;fans come out like roaches. Ask them to name 5 players on the team and they can&#39;t. Typical!!!</p>dskz commented on 'Yep, We're the Worst'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e5543e352588332008-08-23T05:20:19Z2008-08-23T05:20:19ZdskzThat list is bupkiss. But lets see...
